We try to get together as a family and play a couple games at least one night a week. Usually it’s a board game like Monopoly, Clue, Sorry, or Chess, and the last couple weeks it’s been Ruin.
Once in a while we play games on the Wii together. We have a couple versions of Guitar Hero, and Rock Band, and also have Wii Sports and their Carnival Games. I’d rather play a good board game any day, but my husband and my son love the video games, especially the music playing games like Guitar Hero. Since they humor me on some of the games I want to play, I give their favorites a try once in a while too.

We actually take turns picking the games. Each week one of us gets to pick the games we play. Of course the others can influence the decision by begging and making sad eyes. Once the decision is made, we all have to play, even if it’s not our favorite game.
We have a great time either way, playing the games as a family and enjoying the interaction and laughs we have together.
